My latest picture book Billy
and the Balloons
I am so delighted that
my picture book, so beautifully illustrated by Patrick Corrigan, was published in September by Salariya Books.
When everyone noticed that just tiny Billy,
Held all the balloons they were really scared silly
"Oh Billy, hold tight to the strings they all cried,
So Bill held tight for a magical ride!
How Billy wishes he was bigger! It seems that he's always too small for everything he wants to do, like holding the balloons his dad is selling on the street corner on Christmas Eve. But when a gust of wind snatches the balloons from his dad's hands, Billy jumps up and catches hold of them. But the balloons keep going up and Billy is taken on a magical ride up into the snowy night sky. And then he meets Santa making his deliveries! However, Santa has a problem and can’t complete his deliveries. Only Billy's quick thinking and actions can help save Christmas – and all because he is so tiny. It seems that Billy is the most perfect size after all!
Early Readers!
I am very pleased to say that in
the last year I have also many more Early Readers published by Maverick and Franklin
Watts, including Pet Show Disaster, The Legend of the Flying Dutchman, Flying Solo,
Message in a Bottle, Bad Robot, The Fortress of Fear and many more.
